On January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake rocked Haiti causing a significant amount of death, long-term disability, and unsanitary conditions. In response, medical providers from the U.S. mobilized to provide immediate care to Haitian communities. Dr. Rahul Khare and a team of medical volunteers from all over Chicago organized to temporarily staff emergency response operations at Haiti’s largest public hospital. It was there that Rahul worked 14-hour shifts in a makeshift ER tent to provide crucial medical care to patients whose language they did not speak and within an environment lacking in advanced technologies and supplies. This transformative experience resulted in new approaches to thinking about how to deliver quality medical care. It would only be a matter of time before Rahul launched what is now known as Innovative Express Care.

No hidden costs, no unnecessary tests, and the highest quality urgent care in the city of Chicago.

When Dr. Rahul Khare, founder and CEO of Innovative Express Care, was working an afternoon shift at at the emergency room of a major Chicago hospital, he decided to ask each patient he saw what brought them to the ER.
Many had non-life threatening illnesses or concerns, like ankle sprains, pink eye, sore throats. Nevertheless, their primary care physicians had recommended they visit the ER because they couldn’t fit them in their schedules.
Dr. Khare asked these patients why they did not instead go to an urgent care clinic. They told him they don’t like those impersonal, factory-like “doc-in-a-box” urgent care experiences. They told him they like all of their healthcare in the same place. They explained that the urgent care and walk-in clinics often didn’t have what they need anyway. From that moment on, Dr. Khare set out to build a high quality urgent care facility, using patient-centered policies and innovative methods and technologies, keeping costs low and the patient experience unbeatable.
